About me

I am licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 9 years of professional work experience. I graduated from St. John's University with two master's degrees my first master's degree is MPS which is master's in professional studies in 2007 and my second MSEd which is master's in clinical mental health counseling in 2013. I am originally from New York City and moved to the sunshine state in 2014. Prior to getting into counseling, I worked as a paralegal in various settings. I decided that I wanted to be a mental health counselor in my late twenties, and I am so glad that I made this career change. I feel my life experience and my education can help my clients with their everyday challenges.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kelly Morana-Piazza. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I have been seeing Kelly for some time now, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional therapist. From the very first session, I felt a strong connection with her due to her friendly and relatable demeanor. She creates a no-judgment space where you feel completely safe to express yourself.

What sets Kelly apart is her ability to balance being real and giving it to you straight while knowing exactly when to be extra sensitive. She understands when you need to hear the hard truth and when you need a gentle touch, which has been incredibly helpful for my personal growth.

She asks thought-provoking questions that help you delve deep into your issues and uncover unknown aspects of yourself. Her real-life relatable stories make you feel validated and not crazy, reminding you that feelings are natural, and it’s how you deal with them that truly matters.

In our sessions, Kelly has been very collaborative, giving me useful and helpful goals while also encouraging me to create my own. Her ability to listen well and understand me quickly has made our time together very productive. She has even recommended additional resources to support my journey, showing how much she truly cares about her clients.

Overall, I highly recommend Kelly to anyone seeking a therapist who is compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested in your well-being.

Thank you, Kelly!
